Abstract

The classic shortened dental arch (SDA) as a prosthodontic concept was originally described by Käyser and comprises of 20 occluding anterior and premolar teeth only.1,2 This SDA treatment option, now also referred to as a posteriorly reduced dental arch (PRDA) due to the different combinations of missing posterior teeth, may be considered as a beneficial treatment approach for developing countries such as South Africa (SA).
